Pacific Grove places to eat (Further up the Coast)

Thanks for help in places to eat in Santa Barbara. After breakfast there, we are driving to our final destination: Pacific Grove. Through many posts, I have seen the Fishwife mentioned. Is is as good as everyone says? We'll be staying at the Alisomar conferene grounds and they do give a nice breafast. We'll need advice as where to stop along the way to lunch and lunch and dinner in the Pacific Grove area. We'll most lkely eat lunch at Linn's (really liked it) in Cambria. Alisomar will be our home base in Pacific Grove. Besides the places mentioned such as fishwife and passion fish, are there any restaurants that serve good and tasty food that are affordable. I realize this post is long so thanks for any input.
